Excitement is contagious. When teachers are passionate about a subject, they pass that excitement along to their students.
Our education specialists are transforming the teaching of K-12 STEM in South Dakota through professional development workshops designed to inspire the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians.
SURF’s Professional Development workshops:
- Connect teachers to the innovative science at SURF
- Utilize a 3-dimensional teaching and learning approach
- Leverage real phenomena and unsolved questions being explored underground
- Shift students from “learning about” a topic to “figuring out” for themselves
